Pcos Support
Introducing myself!
Hi OH Friends!
Let me first say: Thank you for setting this group on OH!
My hopes are high that this group will be just as supportive as the rest of the site. I have been a member of soulcysters for over 5 years and it no longer offer the comfort and support it once did!
I am 35 and started my period when I was 10
I have been chunky all of my life. I knew I was different when I was in 3rd graded and weighed 113lbs.
Growing up the doctors would just tell me to stop eating so much and get active. I could never get help for irregular periods, depression or weight until I was out of college and insisted that I be tested for PCOS...I was right.
In 2002 I began a low carb plan with metformin and was told I would never conceive. The doctor said I needed to loose atleast 70 lbs. to start fertility testing and gave me a paper chart to temp...I now have a 4 year old son from no help of anyone with a medical degree.
Currently I have a wonderful group of practicioners and looking forward to RNY for my birthday in April. I do plan on conceiving another child and beginning a support group in my area with my doctor's help.
Happy Day Ladies!

Greetings Cysters!
I am Penny, an infertile, never had kids 37 yo female paramedic. We have decided babies just arent in the cards for me and my husband. We are kind of selfish. We love our free welding life.
My PCOS was treated with metaformin 500 mg once a day for 3 years. My husband got " nutured" a year before my RNY surgery.
Since the surgery I have been off my Metaformin. Now I am having those horrible drop to your knees periods again! I thought when I lost some eight those periods would stop too. I was wrong!
My facial hair has dropped significantly since surgery. Anybody else have this happen?
